Being able to play without looking at your controller is a useless skill if the game constantly tells you to press the wrong button.

Exactly. And also everyone with a switch controller also owns a switch. It's dumb to ask people to unlearn their switch muscle memory so that they can play ff14. Switching (^_^) between PC with controller and playing console games should be just as easy as it is for PS and xbox users.

I'm not saying this shouldn't be added, but presumably people are playing now without the Nintendo prompts. There are only 4 menu buttons with pretty consistent functions. One only confirms and one only cancels (as far as I remember), one us a map and submenu, and one is jump or switch between menus. It's not a lot to learn, so I'm confused at how anyone would be having a problem playing without looking at the controller.

Say the colors of all these words out loud. The colors, not the words themselves.

Even if you know what red is, if something on your screen says "blue", itʻs going to take you a second to remember what red is. Likewise, even if one knows that X does something, it becomes really easy to forget that X does something when thereʻs a bright yellow Y button on oneʻs screen incorrectly telling you that itʻs actually Y that does something.
